I love my CHI Smart.

Until I purchased my Chi I never believed there could be a big difference between them except the price. I color my fine hair often and I could really see the difference. It's worth every cent.

Re: What's Your Favorite Styling Iron ?

I had a Chi that I gave to my daughter. It was really nice, but at that time I wasn't using it much & when she went to college I sent it with her. I bought the Remington Pearl Pro Ceramic 1" Flat Iron from Ulta & it is my favorite flat iron ever! I love it better than the Chi.

It was on sale & I used a coupon, so it cost me about $20. I have used it every day for years. 

It heats up quickly, works well on my hair & no stylist has ever told me I have any damage from flat ironing, so it must be okay.

I use to like Chi but when I went to Ulta the sales associate told me about Hot Tools and I love it much more than my Chi.  It heats up very fast and I only need one pass for a perfect straight look.

I have short, layered hair and I like the Calista 1/2 in. brush roller iron.  You can hold it without getting burned which is the reason I purchased it.  However, you can hold it for a tight curl or just run through hair for a wave.  I bought it when it was a TSV and it was a little less money.  It's hard to believe the prices on the popular irons.  Cat Very Happy

I have three curling irons - different diameters.

 

Fattest is Revlon ... next is My Curl ... smallest is Jheri Redding.  I don't think I paid more than $20 for each - and I've had them for years and years and years.

Although not an iron, I love my Calista Perfecter round brush. I can use it to smooth my hair without making it flat like an iron would do. Using it to curl my ends is easy to do with it, too.

The best for my needs is the InStyler.  I just bought my second one because the first one died after about 10 years.

Chi Smart is the best, IMO.  Dependable and does a good job.
